Goodbye clarinet

Today was my beautiful daughter's farewell tour with the 8th grade band. {she is the third one in, next to the blonde girl} Now it really isn't a farewell tour, they are just visiting area elementary schools, hoping to encourage the students to become involved in music.  However, she informed us she is giving up the clarinet next year, not wanting to continue in high school. She has been playing since 5th grade and is tired of it. We had the same deal with Danny {handsome son} when he played the violin.  I am a little sad... for the reason my dream of seeing both my kids on the football field, one playing and one in marching band won't be realized. But wait, maybe I can talk her in to trying out for cheer squad.  {My dream may still be alive after all :) }
